Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Layer:

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)

For the Cookie Layer:

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (or chunk chocolate)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

    Prepare the Brownie Layer:

      - In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter over low heat.

        - Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

          - Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined, and fold in the chocolate chips, if using.

            - Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

              Prepare the Cookie Layer:

                - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

                  - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.

                    - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

                      - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.

                        Assemble the Browkies:

                          - Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter. You can use a spatula to gently spread the cookie dough to cover the brownie layer, but leave some brownie visible for aesthetic purposes.

                            Bake Your Browkies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                              Cool and Serve: Allow the browkies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

                                Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These delicious browkies can be stored in an airtight container for several days (if they last that long!).
